We define AIFR as the number of injuries per 200,000 hours worked by employees and contractors at our managed operations. It includes medical treatment cases, restricted workday, lost-day injuries, and fatal injuries.

We report on our Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions using the equity share approach. It includes the equity share of Scope 1 and 2 emissions from managed and non-managed operations expressed in million metric tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent.

Our 2025 gross Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions (adjusted equity basis) were 31.5 Mt CO₂e, a reduction of 0.2 Mt CO₂e from the previous year. Reductions were driven by the increased use of renewable diesel at Kennecott, offset by higher emissions from increased production, particularly in iron ore and copper. As of 2025, our gross adjusted Scope 1 and 2 emissions are 14% below 2018 levels. After applying high-integrity offsets, our net adjusted Scope 1 and 2 emissions are 17% below our baseline. Overall reductions were primarily achieved through renewable energy contracts, including the use of unbundled renewable energy certificates in regions where new energy is under development. In 2025, we expect to retire approximately 1.17 million Australian Carbon Credit Units (ACCUs) to meet our 2025 Safeguard Mechanism compliance obligations.

This KPI refers to cash generated by our operations after tax and interest, including dividends received from equity accounted units and dividends paid to non-controlling interests in subsidiaries.
Free cash flow is net cash generated from operating activities minus purchases of property, plant and equipment, intangibles, and payments of lease principal, plus proceeds from the sale of property, plant and equipment, and intangible assets.
Net (debt)/cash is total borrowings plus lease liabilities less cash and cash equivalents and other liquid investments, adjusted for derivatives related to net (debt)/cash.
